We’re turning another year older this week—and what better way to celebrate than with a little trip down menu memory lane with $1.60 Mexico City Dinners!
This Thursday, June 12, we’re honoring our roots with a throwback to 1941, the year Molina’s was born. For one day only, enjoy our beloved Mexico City Dinner for just $1.60—the same price it was back then. It’s our gift to you, the community that’s kept us going all these years.
Dine in with us at any location, raise a glass (Happy Hour prices on beer, wine, and margaritas all day!), and help us toast to 84 years of family, flavor, and tradition.
We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

This one goes out to Jose! Jose Molina (just a coincidence but he’s absolutely a part of the family ❤️) has been with us for 37 years. He has been a mainstay in our kitchens for as long as we can remember. We can depend on him for it all — and that’s not something we take lightly. Jose, gracias por todo. We love you so much and are so grateful to have you on our team and in our family!

What people say
Tex-Mex restaurants are known for their delicious and flavorful dishes, and Molina's Cantina in Houston is no exception. This family-owned restaurant has been a staple in the community since 1941, serving up scratch-made dishes that have become legendary among locals. The brothers who run the restaurant have kept up with evolving tastes while maintaining the charm and warm hospitality that has made Molina's Cantina an institution in Houston.
One of the standout dishes at Molina's Cantina is the Enchiladas de Tejas, which are cheese enchiladas with chili gravy that have been a favorite for generations. The combination plates are also a hit, allowing diners to try a variety of Tex-Mex favorites all on one plate. And no visit to Molina's Cantina would be complete without trying Jose's Dip, a creamy queso with spicy taco meat that is sure to please any palate.
But it's not just the food that makes Molina's Cantina so special - it's also their renowned margaritas. Whether you prefer yours on the rocks or frozen, there is no denying that these margaritas are some of the best in town.
It's no wonder that Molina's Cantina has received national recognition from publications like The New York Times, Southern Living, and Zagat. But at its core, this restaurant remains a beloved local tradition where families can gather to enjoy delicious food and warm hospitality.
